Best of "Ask HN"
I'm impressed they are indexing two letter words and a typical stop-word "ask".
Must be an interesting database size.

While I think they actually are doing minimal stemming, those are key terms that an index for this site absolutely should include in their index: even if every other two an three letter word is thrown out, "ask" and "hn" should not be.
